Building ideas
that move
New on the blog:Where does client data go when your firm connects Claude?Capabilities
/ Build, grow, learn
Build
zero to oneDesign and engineer a product from an idea into something real and in use. Strategy, design, and the build itself, with AI doing the heavy lifting so it gets there sooner.
Grow
one to tenOnce it works, grow it. Performance marketing and analytics, paid search and social, with AI sharpening the targeting and the spend so growth compounds instead of leaking.
Learn
self-improvingThe part most builds skip. Instead of static software that quietly decays, agentic systems: self-improving feedback loops that sit inside your processes, watch what happens, and get better on their own.
One builder across the whole arc, zero to one to ten and beyond. The goal isn't another static product that ships and slowly decays, it's systems that keep learning after launch. Start from an idea, or wire intelligence into what you already run.

How I work
/ Three ways to collaborate
Advisory
A hands-on consult to shape strategy, find where growth and AI genuinely add value, and map a practical roadmap you can act on.
Sprints
Focused 2-4 week pushes: prototyping an MVP, automating a key workflow, or standing up and launching a campaign.
Embedded
Ongoing, retained support that runs the work month to month: managing ad spend, lifting conversion, and building on what's there.
Based in Queenstown, working with teams across New Zealand and overseas.
Garage 30 is

We work hands-on from concept through launch — aligning vision, validating with users, and building systems that stand the test of growth.
